Punching Shear Behaviour of Thick Reinforced Concrete Slabs

Netopilik, Robert J. 26 November 2012 (has links)
Experiments were conducted to investigate the punching shear behaviour of thick slabs with identical spans and depths, subjected to monotonic point load conditions. Variables included: reinforcement ratio, column size, and reinforcement size. Analytical studies conducted as part of this thesis indicate that the current CSA A23.3 and the ACI 318 can be unconservative for thick slabs with low reinforcement ratios. The new fib Model Code provisions for punching offer an effective method for determining the full load-rotation behaviour of a slab up to failure, including accurate failure predictions. A summary of the background of current design procedures and standards will be presented, and a comparison between the different design equations and theories will be given. Based on the findings of this project, it is proposed that the provisions accepted by the fib Model Code should be considered for implementation in the CSA and ACI standards.
